Bath chip & crack repair in Crossways, South Gloucestershire
Problem with your bath in Crossways? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we handle bath repair in Crossways
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips along the edge of the bath, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What else we do in Crossways
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Crossways
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can

Questions from Crossways
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you come to Crossways?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Crossways. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
What we’re called out for in Crossways
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- A chipped rim or side
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
